Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1996 BMW 840Ci is offered as a non-runner from a custodian collection, requiring trailering and likely mechanical work. While it boasts a comprehensive history and garaged storage, its current state and non-operational status significantly impact its appeal and potential sale price.
Condition
3
The car is listed as a non-runner and needing to be trailered away. The original listing from 2022 notes good paintwork, but the current listing indicates it did not run upon collection. This indicates significant mechanical issues, placing it in the 'Below Average' category due to the need for substantial reconditioning.
